fio all 'may concern: I Be it known that l, lsnmson NEFLNE, a citizen ofthe United States of America, 'fresiiiin net Fairview, in the county ofWoods enti. Estate of kloiioine, nave invented neny Il and usefulmpi'ovexnents in Coin @on trailed Looks, of which the Vfollowing especification.

A keyhole 24 is formed in the easing, ande key 25 isadapttojoperete the bolt.

y lock may manner: A person desiring to have access to e room 'orcompartment ,prcm'dedl with e with-my invention key, like 25, and thiskey inlock casing will not operate the bolt untilse ooin or check isinseitedfin the coin chute, le, forfthe reason that the flange flof thetumbler ,will move freely in the recess inthe bolt loutl wi1i-notoperatetize holt. When-s coin e is inserted in the coin @linie Il, the2o moving against the Wall L? of the keyhole recess 16 Wiii carry thebolo :onvveid to engage the keeper in the doei* fname 2. When theboltis. in locked position the gravity latch' 18 drops toengage the stoppin ll,v es shown Vin Fig. 2. The coin-supporting element 2l is droppedto Vthe position shown in Fig. 2,"ant the ngei 23 occupies e positionbetween. the

be opeieted in the following wall 10 and the inner wall ofthe tumbler13. When the key 25 is again inserted in the lock for the purpose ofmoving the bolt backward into the lock casing, the latch 18 is firstraised by the key,'and then the tumbler 13 is moved backward within thecasing', drawing with it the bolt and at the s'aine time bringing thecoin-supporting element 2l back into horizontal position to cover thebottom of the coin recess 8. In this position the key will not againoperate the bolt without the insertion of a coin inthe recess 8.

From the foregoing, it will be obvious that a lock made 1n accordancewith my invention is of comparatively sim le construetion, can bemanufactured at s ight cost, is composed of very few parts, cannot beop- :erated Without the use of a coin' and is verf)7 desirable andeiicient for its purpose.

1. A coincontrolled lock comprising a casing having a coin chute and acoin receiver, 'a bolt mounted in said casing, said 'bolt provided witha coin recess, a coin-supporting lever pivoted below said recess andsaid bolt beingy provided with a coin recess,

a pivoted coin support below said recess,

youd its pivotal point, a tumbler for moving said bolt, and a pivotedlatch and stop for holding saidbolt in4 projected position.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature in presence of two witnesses. f
